EV charging station installation in Montreal

An EV charger is not a plug-in appliance. It's a permanent 240 V circuit that has to be sized to your panel, protected correctly, and installed under permit by a licensed contractor. We've been doing exactly that across Greater Montreal since chargers first started appearing in Quebec driveways.

Most homes get a Level 2 charger on a dedicated 40 A circuit, which adds roughly 30–50 km of range per hour — enough to refill overnight. We install every major brand, and we'll tell you honestly if the one you've picked is wrong for your panel.

Typical residential installation

  • Load calculation on your existing panel to confirm available capacity
  • Dedicated 240 V circuit with correctly sized breaker and conductor
  • Wall-mounted or pedestal charger, indoor or outdoor rated
  • Permit filed and inspection coordinated
  • Panel upgrade quoted separately if your service can't carry the load

Condo, workplace and fleet

  • Multi-unit installations with individual metering or load sharing
  • Load management so several chargers share one feed without a service upgrade
  • Conduit runs through parking structures, trenching where required
  • Documentation for building management and rebate applications

Common questions

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?

Not always. A 100 A service can often carry a Level 2 charger if the rest of the load allows, especially with a load-management device. We run the calculation before quoting so you know either way.

Can I install it myself?

No. In Quebec a 240 V charger circuit must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor under permit. Self-installation voids the Roulez vert rebate and can void your home insurance.

How long does it take?

A straightforward residential installation is typically completed in one day. Panel upgrades or long exterior runs add a day.

Will you install a charger I bought myself?

Yes, as long as it's certified for sale in Canada. We'll confirm it suits your panel before installation day.
